Toronto Transit Commission and city officials say the Scarborough Busway is set to open on Sept. 30, finishing about six months earlier than originally planned. The announcement follows the project reaching completion and moving into an opening timeline by the end of September.
The busway is described as a four-kilometre dedicated route connecting the Kennedy and Ellesmere stations. From there, buses continue toward Scarborough Town Centre using priority bus infrastructure along Ellesmere Road. Officials say the trip between Kennedy and Scarborough Town Centre is expected to take about 15 minutes.
Across the outlets, the timing of the opening and the earlier-than-expected completion are consistent. Coverage focuses on when the service begins and the main corridor it will serve, with both outlets emphasizing the schedule advance and the planned routing through Ellesmere Road priority lanes.
